"IT is paving the way for digitization. It plays a key role in a company’s success. That’s why IT is so trusted. But IT is also disruptive and complex. Changes to systems, constant threats from inside and outside, and the risk that errors go undetected, require a strong IT organization. An IT audit is a useful means of gaining security. Security that is needed to rely on systems, processes and employees. An IT audit identifies weak points in processes and can use this as a basis for improvements. A functioning IT is essential for your company. You cannot afford failures or errors in processes. IT does not only have a supporting function! The claim: “IT must simply run” is no longer enough. IT is the driving force in a company. Just like in the other departments of your company, it is important to recognize and control risks.
